--GTYPE-group-format=GFMT
format GTYPE input groups with GFMT
--line-format=LFMT
format all input lines with LFMT
--LTYPE-line-format=LFMT
format LTYPE input lines with LFMT
Format
These format options provide fine-grained control over the output of diff, generalizing -D/--ifdef.
LTYPE is 'old', 'new', or 'unchanged'.
GTYPE is LTYPE or `changed'.
GFMT (only) may contain:
%< lines from FILE1
%> lines from FILE2
%= lines common to FILE1 and FILE2
%[-][WIDTH][.[PREC]]{doxX}LETTER
printf-style spec for LETTER
LETTERs are as follows for new group, lower case for old group:
F first line number
L last line number
N number of lines = L-F+1
E F-1
M L+1
%(A=B?T:E)
if A equals B then T else E
LFMT (only) may contain:
%L contents of line
%l contents of line, excluding any trailing newline
%[-][WIDTH][.[PREC]]{doxX}n
printf-style spec for input line number
Both GFMT and LFMT may contain:
%% %
%c'C' the single character C
%c'\OOO'
the character with octal code OOO
C the character C (other characters represent themselves)
-d, --minimal
try hard to find a smaller set of changes
--horizon-lines=NUM
keep NUM lines of the common prefix and suffix
--speed-large-files
assume large files and many scattered small changes
--help display this help and exit
-v, --version
output version information and exit
FILES are 'FILE1 FILE2' or 'DIR1 DIR2' or 'DIR FILE...' or 'FILE... DIR'. If --from-file or
--to-file is given, there are no restrictions on FILE(s). If a FILE is '-', read standard
input. Exit status is 0 if inputs are the same, 1 if different, 2 if trouble.
